I love vintage embroidery. The variety is huge and themes range from a gal walking with a tomato (hilarious) to intricate floral patterns. I discovered the Vintage Transfer Finds blog a couple months ago and it is so fun! They are free patterns, which makes it even better. There is a big trend right now in the way of birds and owls, and I am totally on board. Put a bird on it! It will only make it better! So, I chose a sweet lovebird pattern, picked some random floss and got to it. Here are my results.
I had some puckering issues and should maybe have used some stabilizer on the back. I tend to become overzealous with the pulling fearing that my threads will be too loose, ergo...puckering! I am trying to calm down with the pulling. I decided to use neutral colors and it ended up looking like something from the 70's, which I like. I don't have plans to make a mate for this case, but maybe someday. I think this would make a cute gift for a wedding or bridal shower. Those birds are just too cute. Put a bird on it!
